After a clinical win on Saturday against Hull City, Nottingham Forest travel to Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in a clash between two historic clubs.

This promises to be a cracking fixture with both sides full of confidence, and both sides realistically hopeful of staking a claim for promotion this season. Forest fans may well again be entitled to believe there is some value in their price, provided by BetBright, below:

Full Time Result

Draw – 12/5
Nottingham Forest – 10/3

Nottingham Forest have only conceded one goal in their last five Championship encounters and are on a long unbeaten run away from home, whilst Aston Villa have won their last three home Championship matches.

This promises to be a very competitive fixture, with both teams finding the net frequently of late.

Both Teams to Score

Yes – 3/4
No – 19/20

Aston Villa have found a new lease of life under new manager Dean Smith, putting behind them a tough start to the season to win four of their last six Championship fixtures.

Both sides have only failed to score once in their last six matches, but with the strength of The Reds’ defence of late it’s easy to see why Forest supporters will be full of optimism heading to Villa Park on Wednesday evening.
